Keith,
Tell your friend that I'll take that bike off his hands for twenty bucks!
:-)
Seriously folks.....to me the problem sounds like a float needle that isn't
sealing.
Last year, on my Ambo1 I was getting fuel spitting out the airfilter when I
was starting her. Gas was also running into the cylinder too. Both weren't
good. Traced the problem to bad float needle.
I also wonder if the float needle has a problem sealing when the bike is on
the side stand...since the carb will be tilted? Just wondering.
By the way...I think Bob may have sorted out his problems. Turns out that he
had a 60 jet instead of the 45 that was required. No idea why but thanks to
Mark for all his help to Bob. Hope you don't mind me telling the folks for
you Bob :-)

Well, the bike is dead again. Still starts but it keeps fouling the right plug. Think it needs a full tune-up and some carb work as she is spitting and the right side smells like gas. He's going to bring it to the shop sometime soon. |
